    Foreign languages, bet they mean French and Spanish. And not the weebs learning Japanese or the Dutch

    Also who would call their porn watching habits a hobby? It’s just something you do to kill some time, like scrolling social media. A hobby is something you can get better in or gain deep knowledge in. Calling porn a hobby is like calling eating, or shopping a hobby. Consuming stuff is not a hobby.

    I feel like the linel between ‘reading’ and ‘comic books’ is a bit unfair.

    I mean there plenty of written stuff that’s demonstrably worse than anything in comics.

    Sure, people say hiking is attractive, but I can only assume there’s a bias to forest hiking.

    Meanwhile, I go out and do a four to five hour urban hike and people act like I have some sort of disorder.

    “wHy DoN’t YoU jUsT dRiVe?” Because a drive to the beer store in the town across the river is an errand, a walk to the same place is a fucking ADVENTURE, Helen!

      I speak from experience when I say you will get much, much more attention from guys admiring your work and wanting to trade workout tips than from women wanting to hop into bed with you.

      A sense of humor and the ability to make interesting conversation will make up for a beer gut or scrawny arms.

        I think there’s a line where it crosses over. Being “in shape” definitely makes you more attractive to women. Being anything above that definitely appeals more to men, and for many women even makes you less attractive

          Yes. Generally speaking, women will find a person who is healthy and reasonably physically fit more attractive than someone who is obese or unhealthily thin.

          The problem is that the point of diminishing returns on actual body building happens pretty fast. Some women do prefer guys who are big piles of muscle, but that’s a minority.

          I learned that from experience. The reason “work out until somebody loves me” works is because you’re giving yourself time and learning to be a person who is fine being alone, not because of hours in the gym.

    Good news, honey! I have decided to look at porn less so that I will be able to spend more time arguing online.

    Why can’t you just develop a drinking problem hobby like a normal man!?

    Woodworking partner: for when you want no garage space, to be frequently annoyed by loud noises, and to have half of your furniture and bowls made of epoxy. We don’t need another table, Jeffrey! We already have six. Our home only has three rooms that could fit a table already! You have a sickness! I don’t care that it’s in the shape of a whale!

      “I don’t care that it’s in the shape of a whale!” is now my new favorite phrase and I now plan on 3D printing that to hang on my wall

    My wife used to think that a man who knew how to work on cars was sexy until I built a racecar in the garage, and she saw the parts invoices.

    She also used to think a man who cooks is sexy until she learned that I am a GOOD cook and consequently that means I don’t want help, I want you the fuck out of my kitchen, don’t sample the ingredients they are weighed and portioned for a damn reason and if you put sweet baby rays on a $50 cut of steak again it will be the last time I ever cook for you.

      Hey I’m the good cook husband with a car problem too.

      My wife never wanted to help cook though, she loves that I take it on by myself most times.

      And I get the kitchen mostly to myself (though I’m sharing it with my son more now, which is slower, but pretty fun).

    My husband’s main hobby is collecting baseball cards, but he also makes money buying and selling them (along with Pokémon and MTG). He was always a bit embarrassed of this hobby until he learned he has autism and it’s just his special interest. Now he understands and accepts himself better. And that’s hella attractive.

      Hell yeah tell your husband to keep rocking on.

      Hasn’t he heard? Collecting cards are cool now with a huge community, and bonus points he has an amazing partner who loves his confidence.
